Wooden Chess, Where To Buy?

Featured Replies

Please give me advice where I can buy wooden chess in Chiang Mai?

Thank you.

There are 2 chesses, Thai chess and Farang chess. Which one are you looking for?

Farang chess, you can find it in Baan Tawai, Hang Dong, the name of shop is Duang, the owner of the shop made wooden(hard) chess for sale, I think, you can find also Thai chess there, made by rain tree wood (not hard wood).

There is a room with many chess tables, not sure if they just play a chess or have a chess class in Pantip Plaza 4th floor (14:00-20:00), may be you can go there to look and ask where you can buy it in the city, you can also take a look at night bazaar, it possible to find it there too.

The wooden ones I have seen have the king and the queen so similar looking that it is easy to make a mistake.

I don't play much now but when I did play I played touch chess so if I made the mistake I had to live with it no excuses. That was for me I did not expect it of others. All though many of them played that way also.

I've been on Night Bazar and saw wooden chess but it's much more expensive than I expected. It costs 1200 baht (I guess it's tourist price). Going to Hang Dong.
